The Telespond Mission: We aim to: --provide high-quality, community-based care to older adults and caregivers --enhance the well-being of older adults by promoting independent living --offer low-cost alternatives to institutionalized care --collaborate with service providers and healthcare experts to ensure effective delivery of programs
